“A general should be capable of making all the resources of the invaded country contribute to the success of his enterprise” - Lt. Gen. Antoine Henri, Baron De Jominin Leadership is a powerful thing when it comes to the survival of a nation. It becomes even more valuable for countries that want to concur and expand into foreign land. Such an expansion would require individuals with not only control domestically, but militarily. Men of this caliber have existed in human history and they have

Lion was an inspiring movie that had a main focus on Saroo's assimilation into Australian culture. His immigration into Australia is of course what started his assimilation. Consequently, Saroo lost the ability to speak Hindi, as seen at the end of the movie when he reunites with his mother, because he grew up in an English-speaking culture. As well Saroo forgot aspects of his culture, such as eating with his hands, that were uncommon or looked down upon in Australian culture. The scene in which

In a move that many observers say underscores her commitment to the part, Beyoncé reportedly began a painful surgical transformation Thursday in preparation for her role as the lioness Nala in the live-action remake of The Lion King. The remake will include a variety of famous people, Seth Rogen, James Earl Jones, John Oliver and other people viewers will likely recognize. “It will take many intensive and frankly excruciating procedures before she gets to where she needs to be, but once the radical

On September 29th, 2015 I went to see The Lion King at the San Jose Center of Performing Arts. Julie Taymor was the director of the performance, Garth Fagan was the choreographer. The Lion King was written by Roger Allers and Irene Mecchi in 1994. The main characters include; Rafiki, Mufasa, Scar, Simba, and Nala. The theme of the story centers around facing your fears and good V.S evil. After Simba’s dad is killed and he get’s blamed for it by Scar he runs away to the jungle where Timon and Pumba

‘2018’ is a dystopian film about equality. Through his acts and qualities, the main character, Harrison Bergeron, is symbolically a Christ Figure.

Even though they fought for different causes, they have three major affinities; both characters were dead and buried, tortured in agony, and seen carrying wood on their shoulders. Firstly, much like Jesus Christ, Harrison was metaphorically

In the Disney movie, The Lion King, there is a clear power struggle for absolute authority. The lions-the kings-live on Pride Rock, and rule over all species, land, and hunting grounds. When Scar overthrows Mufasa, it upsets the fragile balance of the kingdom. Granted, Scar is a crazy evil manipulative murderer, but what if another creature, say, an antelope, had some pretty good ideas for ruling the kingdom? Would it get a say? No, because only special lions get to rule. It’s also because it’s an

of words grab the reader’s attention and makes them reenact the play in their own imagination with incredible force. Shakespeare’s immense impact in literature allow for his plays to still be venerated and recreated around the world today. Director Julie Taymor recreated Shakespeare’s play, The Tempest and showed her own interpretation of the play by making it into a movie. Her interpretation was definitely interesting, but was not the most accurate portrayal of the play with the choosing of actors

5. When in Doubt, It’s from Shakespeare… The Lion King follows a storyline similar to Hamlet. Firstly, Simba and Hamlet both have power-hungry uncles who kill their father, the king. Then, Simba and Hamlet are sent away but are compelled to return after being visited by their father’s ghost. When the princes return, they fight their uncles, who consequently die. The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare is similar to the romantic comedy 10 Things I Hate About You in numerous ways. For example
